Summary of thesis results: The thesis "The Art of Maupassant's Short Stories from a Narrative Perspective" has provided readers with a unique approach to the art of Maupassant's short stories from a narrative perspective. In Chapter 1, readers can grasp new aspects of Maupassant's short story art through the issue of point of view, especially the shifting of point of view, which is often overlooked in literature. The discovery and exploitation of this shift in point of view to the characters is a new contribution of the thesis. Chapter 2 explores the issues of narration and description. The thesis focuses on studying the art of narration interspersed with descriptions of characters and events; followed by striking descriptive passages to identify the characteristic manipulation of this technique by the author. Chapter 3 of the thesis explores the art of beginnings and endings in Maupassant's short stories through 45 short stories spread across themes of city, war, countryside, and sea, to understand Maupassant's narrative techniques. Comparing the beginnings and endings of the author's short stories provides a new perspective on the narrative art that Maupassant particularly focused on: he used the art of carefully "concealing" what he intended to say to create surprise for the reader. 12. Practical applications: Used as material for research and teaching of foreign literature in schools, specifically on Maupassant. 13. Further research directions: None. 14. Published works related to the thesis: Nhu Thi Truc Linh, (2007) The Tones in Guy De Maupassant's Short Stories, Master's thesis in Literature.
